The storm poses an imminent threat of tropical storm and/or hurricane conditions to SOME PORTION of the Warning area.
Heed the advice of Local officials. Be careful about rumors, erroneous social media posts and unwarranted speculation.
Major Hurricane Matthew Briefing Situation Overview
...THIS IS NOW A WORST CASE STORM SURGE SCENARIO...
Catastrophic Damage is Anticipated for Coastal Areas.
Major Hurricane Matthew is still expected to move DANGEROUSLY CLOSE the Florida First Coast and Southeast Georgia Coast Friday through Friday night into Saturday with catastrophic impacts expected along and near the coast.
A major hurricane has not impacted this area in 118 years, since October 2nd 1898. There is NO local living memory of the potential of this event. If a direct landfall occurs this will be unlike any hurricane in the modern era. . The western eyewall is expected to move along a portions of the coast with sustained winds 115 to 125 mph and gusts in the most affected areas! Winds will be higher in high rise structures in Downtown Florida possibly strong Category 4 to Category 5 intensity!
Some of the lowest barrier islands will be completely overtopped with large battering wave and life threatening flooding. Barrier islands are likely to breached and it is extremely possible that new inlets will be cut in the worst affected areas.
Please, Please heed the advice of public and emergency management officials. 40 people in New York and New Jersey did not heed these warning during Sandy and died in the storm surge! This will be a MUCH Greater surge than Sandy had along the New Jersey Shore!
Thanks. The Jupiter Inlet cam is no longer broadcasting...
WalMart now closing at 8 p.m.
Only 4th time in history Disney is closing Thurs & Friday
Universal Halloween Horror night also closing.
My brother and SIL are in JAX, probably very close to you. They are close to the water, but on very high ground. They’re old hands at hurricanes and well prepared. I’m not worried.
If it ain't clowns it's hurricanes........
The MSM and its department of crisis proliferation has its hands full........
Most areas are rated for category 3 or brief category 5.
Like the article said, one that brushed the coast at cat5 has never been seen by anyone currently alive.
Obammy was not born to stop hurricanes but to save the world from global warming, you faint of heart.
Ow wow. Wonder how long this one will last...
Thanks for the info. I so hope so!
The three Governors who are pleading with people to evacuate are all Republicans: Scott in Florida, Deal in Georgia, and Haley in South Carolina.
Barry does get to play the hero though when the Republican Governors ask him for federal disaster aid relief. Governor Scott has already done that.

Prayers for your brother and SIL. We’re off Baymeadows and Gate. Where are your brother and his wife?
OK, you made me laugh. Suguh.
I found this interesting from one of the warnings.
“Residents
in high-rise buildings should be aware that the winds at the top of
a 30-story building will be, on average, about one Saffir-Simpson
category higher than the winds near the surface.”
Shut up Mammy! Lol
God Bless and be with those in the areas, humans and animals who will be affected by this hurricane. Amen
Scarlet still calls me a Filthy Yankee DAWG! ;)

Thanks. They are just off Atlantic and Alt US1. Close to the water, but with decent elevation. We’re all from NOLA, so we know what we need to do.
So true, although I’ve heard Savannah has its temptations as well!
